How an industry built on pressure created a second industry built on desperation.
The timeshare industry created such a massive problem… that now there’s an entire industry of scams built just to prey on people trying to escape it.
Let that sit with you for a second.
Not one scam.
Not one bad actor.
A system so predatory it has spin-off predators.
THE SETUP
Millions of owners were pressured into a contract that didn’t match reality.
They were promised “flexibility,” “value,” “guaranteed vacations,” “financial sense,” and “ownership.”
But what they got was:
• rising fees
• confusing points
• no availability
• a contract written to last forever
• and zero accountability from the company that sold it to them
That’s scam #1.
THE VILLAIN
Scam #2 shows up the moment you try to escape the first one.
Fake “exit companies.”
Call-center “legal teams.”
Fast-talking salespeople who can’t even spell the name of the resort you own — but somehow “guarantee” a cancellation.
The minute an owner feels trapped, the vultures circle.
Why?
Because the timeshare industry trained them.
They created a massive pool of financially stressed, confused, emotionally exhausted owners — the perfect targets.
OWNER TRUTH
Here’s the part almost no one knows:
Timeshare companies actually benefit from the confusion and chaos.
The longer owners feel scared of making the wrong move,
the longer owners keep paying.
The industry knows frustrated owners won’t stop paying if they don’t understand their options.
And they know the fakes muddy the waters — making real solutions harder to find.
Confusion = profit.
Fear = compliance.
Chaos = revenue.
THE REALITY
If ANY other industry operated like this, the FTC would shut them down in 24 hours.
But because it’s wrapped in “vacations,” most people don’t see what’s happening behind the scenes.
THE LIBERTY EDGE
We’ve spent years cleaning up the mess the industry created — and protecting owners from the second wave of scams that appear when they start searching for help.
We’ve seen:
• families lose $10K to fake exit companies
• seniors drained by “guaranteed” solutions that never happen
• owners threatened, scared, and manipulated into paying more
You’ve been through enough.
You don’t need another predator in the mix.
